about

Through the most challenging times in life, I have found comfort through the purity and innocence of children. In times of discouragement, hopelessness, and even mourning, I have experienced the undeniable power that children possess to heal the heart even on the bluest of days.

I feel truly blessed to be a mother of two daughters, Elise and Elena, and to be a music teacher in a culturally diverse NYC school! I have the opportunity to work with children and music which are my two most favorite things in the world!

During the Coronavirus pandemic, I have followed and continue to follow all the things that are happening around us and while we’ve remained quarantined in our home I wrote this song “Hope and Love” because its the best way I know how to express my thoughts and emotions in response to the current events that we are all facing. I hope that listening to the words of this song and seeing the beautiful children playing and working together in the video will at the very least bring a smile to your face.

We’d like to give a BIG thank you to:

Ron Capardo - for the awesome lead guitar playing and mastering of this song.

lyrics

Look at me
Look at you
We don’t look the same
But we love to play
And we have fun when we do
Look at us
Hope and love
Look at us

This one song
May seem small
But, when we’re brought together
We stand together
Freedom for one and all
Look at us
Hope and love
Look at us
Look at us

We don’t need to look the same
We can be different and that’s ok
When we are together
Life feels so much better
Let’s sing together
And fill our world with love

Can you hear us
Won’t you join us
Spreading love and kindness
Help to heal the pain and hurt
It’s time to change our world

This one song
May seem small
But, when we’re brought together
We stand together
Freedom for one and all
Look at us
Hope and love
Look at us
Look at us
Look at us
